travelator, have they changed the regs? It was my understanding that of the 250 hours command required for the ATPL, 150 hours can be ICUS. That leaves 100 hours of "pure" command to be filled. Most Cadetships provide for approx 70 hours non ICUS command, so that will leave the applicant, without any previous experience, some 30 hours short!
When you consider the numbers put up by tsubasa27, the cadets in question will be flat out paying their light bill let alone finding the money, or the time for that matter, to go out and fly privately the additional 30 hours?
6 years to a pay rise? Try the prospect of never!
